I'm sorry, I don't buy that. He got as much playing time in the first game as he would have in the first three preason games combined.

That's simply not true. Maybe the first two games (or 1/2 to be more exact), but you can't discount the weeks in between the games, where you can study film and address mistakes during practices. Plus, the rest of the team also has to adjust to RGIII being under center and not another QB.

OK, so i'm off by what a quarter or less. First game is typically one or two drives, the second game is a half minus a drive or two at the end of the half, and the third game is a half plus a drive or two in the second half. So i'm off by a drive or two.

All of that other stuff he got just like all of the other QBs did.

So you're going to tell me Im wrong based on a drive or two...

I'm much closer than you are!

Come you can do it, just admit that you were wrong.

The playing time in one regular season game is roughly that of the first three preseason games. You said that the first three regular season games were like his preseason. You were wrong. It's is ok to say it.

If I were wrong, I would be the first to admit it. But here, you are incorrect again on many fronts. First, I wasn't the one who said the three games were like his pre-season, that was frankcal. I was merely refuting your point that that statement was total bunk. Second, you totally glossed over my other points, by saying he got the same practice and film study between games as the other QBs. That is patently false. Watching film of another QB, does nothing to help you correct problems with your own mechanics. And yes, he participated in practices, but there was no real game time between those practices where he could work on his timing with receivers under real pressure and defensive game planning. So no, RGIII never had a preseason, and is only now showing the effects that live game experience brings. Instead you chose to focus on a silly point about actual game time, which varies greatly from club to club. I even said it was more like a game and a half of regular season, because I didn't feel the need to argue a stupid semantic point, when the point I was actually making was far more important.

I'm sorry if my correcting you on the feet first slide thing got your panties in a twist, but I'm not singling you out or anything. I just like to set the record straight when I see misinformation being reported as fact.

I think a guy can also declare himself down by going down to one knee like kick returners do in the end zone. I saw a guy do it a couple years ago and then call timeout so a field goal could be attempted.

Since there is no way that either of can know if watching game tape of himself playing in preseasonss would have benefited him anymore than a break down of game film of his team mates then I submit that since RG3 barely played in preseason as a rookie it isn't that important for it to actually be him.

Yes, I confused you with the comment Frank made.

By the way I was also wrong when I said that the 2011 rule book had the part removed that said a player could declare himself down by simply going to the ground, because it is in the 2011 &2012 rule book. But whatever it doesn't matter.

I wasn't referring to game time that other teams play their starters in preseason I was referring to what Shanny usually does with his teams. And I have been harping on game time because that is the most important part of playing in the preseason... the playing part. All the rest RG3 got either first hand of by proxy.

Its pretty obvious you think that we should have started Kirk Cousins.

However what if Kirk had started and we still had the same record of 0-3?

I've never said that. I just don't like the fact that certain fans keep making excuses for Griffin, he's obviously not playing at full form. Nothing more, nothing less. Although I do strongly believe had Cousins started the first four we would be sitting at 2-2 right now.
